Baseball Champs!

Our baseball season is over for the year! Brooks ended up really loving it! He learned SO much from the older kids on his team and made some sweet friends!

Somehow our kids always end up on really good teams, ones that don't lose much. I really think it's funny because come tournament time, I'm ready to lose out so we can be done and it doesn't happen! haha! Our team went 17-0 and won the league championship!

The thing about having a good team is that everyone else is jealous. Man, people don't know how to chill out when it comes to kids' sports! Why can't they just have fun??

Go Astros! :)

Blood day catch up!

It's blood day again so here I am catching up! It's currently 1pm, we've been here since 7:30am. We're about half way finished. It's been a ROUGH day. Mia is super moody and that makes things difficult. As all get out. She and I spent the night in Birmingham last night because she needed to get labs and we had to be back this morning for blood. Everything was great until she decided she wasn't going to eat her pizza for lunch and she only wanted chips. She pitched the mother of all fits. Twice.

Thankfully, I have some sweet adoption momma friends who are here with their kids and they are such an encouragement to me. It's so nice to have other mom's who know how it is!

Anyway, say a prayer for us.

Catch up!

It's blood day again so I'm gonna catch up around here! I'm throwing it all in one post! haha!

Sooooo, I went skydiving again. :) We jumped with a different place this time. Only because we had previously booked with them(before I jumped at the beach) and already had paid deposits. Our jump with them was previously delayed because of weather. It was fun and I LOVED it again BUT I'll be jumping with the beach folks next time. We went about 4000 feet higher to jump and it was COLD as we were free falling. If you know me then you know how much I HATE to be cold. It was cold enough that I had trouble catching a breath and I didn't like that AT ALL! Nope. It was still the thrill of a lifetime! And I had more fun parachuting this time because I knew how to handle it!

It was my bro in laws first skydive and guess what?! He's hooked too! haha!

I chose not to wear the jumpsuit...I promise I was just as safe as they were! haha! Lots of people have asked me about that. My harness was exactly the same, I just didn't have on a suit!

 This is on the wall inside...it's very true! lol

 This man loves me! He let's me do CRAZY, insane things like jump out of airplanes!

 
 



 Just because they're cute...

 

Back in the fall we sold all of our goats except for two! I was overwhelmed with life and we had so many they weren't bringing me joy! You have to rotate your males out anyway so we dwindled our herd to two girls! A few weeks ago some of our baby goats showed up on my time-hop...cue the baby goat fever!! Gosh, they are so cute. I sweet talked the hubs into another male goat...and now we have a new little fella! His name was Rocky when we got him...the kids want to keep that but I want to name him Oliver and call him Ollie! :) He and Brooks are BEST buddies so he will probably win that one! hah!

 

 

Griffin recently had his spring band concert!

Brooks had a field trip to the zoo last week! I love me some him! My sister and Cason went with us because why not?!

Brooks is loving baseball! He's getting better and better. I guess being the baby on the team is paying off! He hit a triple the other day...what? He hit it all the way to the fence...would have been a home run had he known to keep running! hahaha!

 Mia got her first hair cut yesterday! I was going to just have it trimmed but then decided a bob would be super cute!!

 Reece recently had her color run at school!

 A few random pics that fell out of place and I don't have it in me to move them! haha! Y'all I'm on the struggle bus trying to get to the end of the school year. Between baseball, football spring practice, gymnastics, blood days, awards days, mother's day school festivities, concerts....all the year end things going on Josh and I are SO TIRED!

Spring Formal and Prom!

Yea, I don't know why they have BOTH of those either! Maybe because Prom is just for Juniors and Seniors and Formal was open to the whole school?

Back at the beginning of March Griffin's school had their Spring Formal. He went with a friend and said to me, "We are JUST friends. I don't have time for girlfriend drama." That's a DIRECT quote. He had a fun time!

THEN, just a few weeks later I noticed a senior girl was hanging around a good bit. He said they were just friends. And they were but they sure hung out a lot! It was fine with us because she's a sweet girl and she goes to our church so we weren't forcing him to go to church! haha! One night he mentioned something to me about prom and not being able to go. I asked him why he couldn't and he said because he is a freshman. I told him that he could go with a junior or senior as their date. Within five minutes NO JOKE those two were going to prom together. #facepalm

They went to prom which was WAY different than when we went. As in, they took pictures, changed clothes, went to the movies, went to chick-fil-a, changed back into prom clothes and then went to prom! What? And I picked him up from prom so there was no after partying. haha!

Since then those two have become an item. So, we have our first teenage girlfriend. Yikes! It's been kinda hard on him because we have a no-dating until you are 16 rule! He's not allowed to go anywhere with her as in with her driving. They meet at the movies some, they see each other at school, she comes to Brooks' baseball games and they see each other at church! Just so y'all know I haven't lost my mind! haha!
